Flu and Covid jab

Had both flu and Covid jabs together on Sat morning. Early 40's with asthma. Felt really rough on Sat, slightly blurred vision on Sat night, painful arms (esp the Covid one) which lead to a painful armpit on Covid side. Have managed symptoms with paracetamol but when they wear off, the armpit pain returns.

It's good to know my lymph nodes are fighting it.

Still feel completely wiped out today. Have managed a nap in lunch hour as WFH. Got to pick the kids up now but feel so heavy and tired.

Has anyone else had these together and how long til you felt normal again?

I had mine on Saturday night. Was fine on sat night but Sunday was a different story. Didn’t make it out of bed all day. Slept on and off all day and was sick at lunchtime on Sunday. Still felt rough yesterday so worked from home. Back to normal today

DH and i had both on friday and apart from him having a bit of a sore arm we were fine, seems it can knock some people sick ore than others. Hope you all feeling better soon.

I also had both on Friday morning. Apart from a slightly sore arm if I lay on that side in bed, I have suffered no ill effects at all thankfully.

Didn't help that it was over Halloween half term with little ones lol. Being knackered probably didn't help!

DH had both on the same day, one in each arm, and felt fine apart from a sore arm where he had his flu jab. I had the same, felt a bit cold in bed that evening, and had sore arms (particularly the Covid side) for a couple of days. Apart from that we were both ok.

hope you feel better soon.
